  • Patent number: 11361272
    Abstract: A device for monitoring a mobile object having a sensor unit, which has at least one sensor for monitoring the mobile object. The device additionally has a processing unit, which is designed to record measured values from a sensor unit within a time span. The processing unit is designed to determine, as a function of the recorded measured values, in what kind of process in a transport chain the object is involved. A method for monitoring a mobile object is also described.

  • Patent number: 10976842
    Abstract: Touchscreen control panel (3) configured to be implemented with a kitchen appliance (1), preferably with a home kitchen appliance or a commercial kitchen appliance, and operable from a front or top side of the appliance (1), wherein the touchscreen control panel (3) comprises a cover plate (4) with a transparent section (4a), a transparent touchsensitive layer (5) arranged and attached within the transparent section (4a) to the back side of the cover plate (4), a bracket frame (6) implemented at the back side of the cover plate (4) and surrounding at least partially the transparent section (4a), and a display unit (7) comprising an active display (9). The bracket frame (6) is adapted to retain the display unit (7) at the back side of the cover plate (4) preferably in such a way that the display unit (7) is in alignment, especially in proper alignment with the touchsensitive layer (5).

  • Publication number: 20180128801
    Abstract: A humidity sensor having a housing, a data logger that has such a humidity sensor as well as a evaluation method for the humidity sensor or the data logger. The housing of the humidity sensor has a recess in which a humidity sensor element is situated. To protect the humidity sensor element against the ingress of water, a membrane is provided that covers at least a portion of the recess and thus defines a detection volume around the humidity sensor element. This membrane allows for an exchange of air with the surroundings so that the humidity sensor element is able to detect the air humidity. It is also designed in such a way that it prevents the ingress of water. The detection volume is designed to be as small so that the humidity of the detection volume adapts quickly to the surrounding climate that is to be measured.

  • Patent number: 8736248
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a detection circuit for detecting that a power supply unit is connected to a wrong supply voltage. Said detection circuit comprises a first voltage divider (24, 26, 28) connected to the output terminals (20, 50) of a rectifier (16) of the power supply unit, a second voltage divider (26, 32) connected to a first power input terminal (10) of the power supply unit and to one of the output terminals (20, 50) of the rectifier (16), and a circuit breaker (14) connected to the first power input terminal (10) of the power supply unit and to an input terminal of the rectifier (16), wherein at least one partial voltage of each voltage divider (24, 26, 28; 26, 32) is used a signal (22, 46) for identifying the wrong supply voltage. The invention relates further to a method for detecting that a power supply unit is connected to a wrong supply voltage.
